[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to censor me again Jeff?

You did not censor people who said horrible things here when Margaret Thatcher died. And only I chided those who seem to be attached to the disreputable among us (not my exact words but i said nothing foul of offensive). For at the end of the day Marion Barry was a public figure and and deserves public scrutiny. Yet during his life time to offer scrutiny was to risk being libeled a racist by many who post here. And now in death you won't even allow the discussion. I won't play the hagiography game but if you censor this its far worse than hagiography you are playing at. This is the Political Discussion Forum Jeff, please allow the discourse.

There will be plenty of time in the future for discussion of all aspects of Barry's life. Today is a day for those who grieve. Those who don't can go to the Expectant Moms forum and discuss baby names.

I have only been in the DC area since the early 90's and frankly, my entire experience with Barry has been his later embarassing career including the drugs and criminal behavior.  But I still know and recognize how much he did in the first half of his career and respect Jeff's compassion in asking for a delay in the condemnations while those who remember all that he has done have a chance to mourn.

PP, your behavior is rather reprehensible; right up there with the Westboro Baptist Church.[/quote]
